Can You Overdose On Marijuana?

Effect of Ingesting Too Much Marijuana –“Greening Out”

A temporary overdose of marijuana can occur and is called “greening out.” It is important to understand that a temporary overdose of marijuana will not result in permanent disability or death, but can be quite common in people who have not used the drug often. The following are the symptoms of too much marijuana in the system:

Temporary feelings of paranoia, fear and anxiety
Shortness of breath
Pupil dilation
Vomiting and/or nausea
Fast heart rate
Shaking that is hard to control, feeling cold
Disorientation or hallucinations
Hangover
This phenomenon passes on its own within minutes to hours of marijuana use. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention needs to be obtained to make sure the user is closely observed for complications. There is a chance that some marijuana obtained on the street could contain stronger chemicals and drugs that could cause a person to become very ill. In this case, someone could suffer from dangerous side effects. There is also a slight risk of using too much marijuana with underlying health conditions and suffering severe reactions to the drug.

How to Treat Marijuana Overdose Symptoms

Slight cases of “greening out” will usually go away on its own in a few hours without treatment. Keep an eye on the person and offer fluids and rest. Watch for symptoms that warrant further medical care such as; trouble breathing, pale skin color, fast heart rate and unresponsiveness. Take the person to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Medical personnel will focus the treatment on alleviating the symptoms. They can give anti-anxiety medications, medications to control the heart rate and blood pressure. Intravenous fluids may be administered and they will be watched in a controlled environment with doctors standing by to handle any further health complications.

Can You Die from Marijuana Overdose?

Death Is Not Likely

There are actually very few documented cases of death by a marijuana overdose. For the most part, THC (the drug in marijuana) has never been thought of as a deadly drug. In the few instances that death has occurred with marijuana use it has been attribute to other drug use or the health condition of the individual. THC is so low in potency that very large amounts would need to be taken to cause a dangerous overdose.

A fatal marijuana overdose in humans would take 40,000 times the amount of THC that it took to get them high in the first place. In comparison, it would only take 5 to 10 times the amount of alcohol to get drunk to kill a human. If you can get drunk on 3 beers, then 15 to 30 beers can cause death. If you inhale 3 puffs of marijuana smoke and get high, then you would have to take 120,000 puffs of marijuana smoke to be fatal. In this sense, it is nearly impossible to die from an overdose of marijuana. Again, it depends on the purity of the marijuana and the health status of the individual so these amounts may vary depending on the situation.

Support from A Scientific Study

There have been a number of scientific studies on the main chemical in marijuana, THC. This drug is a cannabinoid and in the field of science known as, tetrahydrocannabinol. These studies are pretty conclusive on the fact that THC is a “psychoactive” substance and can cause people to become high when ingested, but they have not found any evidence that it is toxic to the body.

In order to determine how much of a drug would be fatal, scientists came up with a formula known as “lethal dosage.” They then test a substance until 50% of the test animals in the lab die. The formula is known as the LD-50. With this formula, it shows that very small animals such as; rats and mice, can take in as much as 1000mg per kilogram before they die. Larger animals did not even reach the LD-50 even giving them as much as 3000mg per kilogram of body weight.

What this means is that a person who weighs 140 pounds or about 63 kilograms would need to take in over 4 pounds of marijuana at once to reach the same levels as the large animal study and this still would has not been proven to be a fatal dosage. These studies have been ongoing over 30 years and researchers have yet to see a severe adverse event with the drug.

Okay now that i have your attention. LOL. Let me tell you a little story PLEASE……..

These news reporters and these comments in this comment section making fun of this, makes me sad, but i dont blame anyone for it. You dont know how its like. I am an 18 yr old girl…This happened to me one time. Im not a drug addict, oh, believe me. I tried marijuana brownies ONE time. I had a seizure(?) from it, and for 4 hours i thought i was straight up dead or braindead, and everything was swtiching between going fast forward or slow mo. I know what you're thinkg. "Oh thats because ure high. what, never been that before?" Oh i have. several times but this was different. Unfortunately for me, no one believes me having a seizure because when i had it, these idiots that I was with was more interested in saving their own asses and did nothing and kept holding their hands infront of my mouth, trying to shut me up so the neigbours couldnt hear me scream bloody mary. I couldnt breathe and everything went black. I "woke up" thinkging i was dead. They know i had one, but they dont talk about it because they dont want people to know i was with them because me not "handling some drugs, and being a pussy", si not a fun girl to talk about later. Sad thing is i wanted someone to record me so they actually WOULD believe me when im telling that i had no control over my body, shaking and hitting around me, lying on the floor, and couldnt stop screaming "I'm dying I'm dying!!! call an ambulane!!!!" Thats all i can remember before running outside with no shoes or jacket on. I had to get away and find someone else who could save me. They picked me up and kept me in their car till i was normal again….

This was the worst experience of my life and im never EVER touching marijuana ever again. I luckily survived that shit. Its rare that it happens ive been told. And im only saying this here because i can relate to what this couple went through, even though my case was a bit worse. No one believed me having a stroke because i was never tested because it was drugs involved. I went to the hospital 2 hours after my stroke and i was never tested for anything. People thought i was overreacting my explanation.I'm sitting here with a lump in my throat right now, thinking about the 14 long hours i went through before i went normal again. I had bruises all over my knees from kicking and screaming in pain. I really hope no one comment any douche things here because i am really shy and i NEVER comment on anything, i just wanted to tell my thoughts and my experience even though i expect no one to believe me. (Sorry for bad grammar. English is not my first language, and if theres anything u want to ASK and not CLAIM from what ive just said, u could just ask me and ill try my best to answer)

Just yesterday my 3.5lbs 11 week old morkie ate weed she found on the ground outside. It was a terrifying moment for us when she was puking and having tremors. We rushed her to the emergency vet clinic and she has been there overnight. Please, if you are going to smoke weed don't drop any on the ground. Properly dispose of it. My dogs life was at risk because of ignorant people.
